A week in the life of P‑22, the big cat who shares Griffith Park with millions of people

The lion walks through the jungle and the movement of the night is blurred. Looking down under his shoulder, he washed the valley in the south of Griffith Park tourist city

A place where the hind leg lifts the forefoot. There are neither branches nor wrinkles. He is silent, ambush predator, he is always hunting and is always looking for opportunities

Inside a small gray box around his neck, the microprocessor opens the calculation and timestamps his position - out of the 56 readings read at 21:00 - 1 week on December 2, 2016 One. The coordinates indicate a lion walking in the desert island of the city.

Mountain lion known as him, known as P - 22 is a mystery, his daily life is hidden by his escape instinct.

The National Wildlife Federation calls this species "almost perfect predator" and has evolved over 40 million years of evolutionary skills to be invisible talent.

We are not ready to evolve the P-22 in an 8-square-mile city park where more than 5 million people visit each year. Most male cats have about 20 times as much space as theirs.

His ears trembled with a distant rustling sound, a mistake of another creature this evening. It comes from a sudden gully and is covered with a willow

In November a few days ago, in the two pastures of the Santa Monica Mountains another lion invaded an insecure fence, more than a dozen alpacas and goats died.

The country did not waste time publishing a license to kill the P - 45, and the supporters were keen to fight for the right of a cat sentenced to death. At a public meeting a couple days later, the crowd gave a controversy

When a man asks whether P-45 is abnormal or injustice because it killed so many animals overnight, the crowd snored and laughed

A woman applauded most of the group when a woman declared "I can stay here because these animals can not talk."

Online petition - "Stop the license to kill" - More than 1,000 signatures were obtained from supporters of Moscow and Cape Town. This big cat had probation

The decision reflects the opinion of the biologist who actually explains: "P - 45 is a Lion Lion."

The mountain lion attack will receive less sympathy as the cat passes through Rancho Ross Felis and Elysian Park. It was originally seen as a sports opportunity

"If you pursue the Royal Bengal tiger in the hometown's jungle or chase the ivory ivory in the sanctuary of Afukud of the swah, you may be excited, but for a refreshing move, add some risk Please think about factors that other mountain lions hunting in Los Angeles can not tolerate.

For exhilarating sports, a slight fuel danger ... Hunting Mountain Lion in Los Angeles City is amazing

The explanation of the "Times" of hunting in 1892 continues to describe beeps from deep muddy bays, screams, screams of hound dogs

If not for P-22, the lion may still be living ambiguously P-22 is a strong and thin cat with a color of white mouth and orange honey. P-22 was born in Santa Monica about 7 years ago; scientists walked east away from scratches, roaring sounds, traces like P-45 to threaten the elderly when in their teens believe. To my surprise, the P - 22 crossed 405 and 101, living in Griffith Park, a high - speed location of Griffith Park in other parts of Santa Monica. On the other side of the road, like a heel, break a piece of bread. In February 2012, the biologist Miguel Orddeana studying the flow of animals into and out of the park noticed the mountain lion in the images taken with wildlife cameras. It is like looking at big legs. "It is almost a wonderful animal - people send pictures, they are usually domestic cats or coyotes," he told me

After reading Amanda Hawkins, I began to work, when I heard the second mother leave, I went to Griffith Park and headed Highway 5: P-42 south. Their mother abandoned two small lion kitten in the Santa Monica Mountains. They are dead. The official suspected that the male Mountain Lion called P - 27 had visited the turnip in the Cub. The P-27 is about 9 years old and remains at the western end of the Santa Monica Mountains. After visiting the study, P - 27 traveled with a 3 - year - old mother of a kitty for 6 days. Park Ranger Kate said, "When my mother left the nest with another man, I saw a similar situation in my research, which tried to divert him from a kitty and sent the kitten back to my new place is". In this case, the mother did not come back
